He loves you? As worthily, as dearly. And 'tis believed how practice quickly fashioned A port of humorous anticness in carriage, Discourse, demeanour, gestures. Put home roundly. A ward for that blow. Safety, of mine Honour, Instructed such deceit. Your Honour? Witness This brace of sprightly Gallants, whose confederacy Presumed to plot a siege. Ves. we, Madam I On, on, Some leisure serves us now. Still as Lord Iulio Pursued his Contract with the man (oh pardon If I forget to name him) by whose poverty Of honest truth, I was renounced in Marriage. These two, entrusted for a secret Courtship, By tokens, letters, message, in their turnes, Proffered their own devotions, as they termed them, Almost unto an impudence; regardless Of him, on whose supportance they relied. Dare not for both your lives to interrupt her. Baited thus to vexation, I assumed A dulness of simplicity; till afterwards Lost to my City, Freedom, and now entered Into this present state of my Condition; (Concluding henceforth absolute security From their lascivious Villainies) I continued My former custom of ridiculous lightness, As they did their pursuit; t'acquaint my Lord, were T'have ruined their best certainty of living: But that might yield suspicion in my nature; And woman may be virtuous without mischief, To such as tempt them. You are much to blame sirs, Should all be truth is uttered. For that Justice I did command them hither, for a privacy In conference twixt Flavia and her brother Needed no Secretaries such as these are: Now Romanello, thou art every refuge I sly for right to; if I be thy Sister, And not a Bastard, answer their confession, Or threaten vengeance, with perpetual silence. My follies are acknowledged; y'are a Lady Who have outdone example: when I trespass In aught but duty, and respects of service, May hopes of joys forsake me. To like penance I join a constant votary. Peace then Is ratified,— my Sister thou hast wakened Entranced affection from its steep to knowledge Of once more who thou art; no jealous frenzy Shall hazard a distrust: reign in thy sweetness, Thou only worthy Woman; these two Converts Record our hearty union, I have shook off My thraldom, Lady, and have made discoveries Of famous Novels; but of those hereafter; Thus we seal love, you shall know all and wonder. Health and his hearts desire to Romanello; My welcome I bring with me; noblest Lady, Excuse an ignorance of your fair presence; This may be bold intrusion. Not by me, Sir. You are not frequent here as I remember; But since you bring your welcome with you, Livio, Be bold to use it; to the point. This Lady, With both these Gentlemen, in happy hour May be partakers of the long lived amity, Our souls must live in. So belike the Marquess Stores some new grace, some special close employment, For whom your kind commends by deputation Please think on to oblige, and Livio's charity Descends on Romanello liberally, above my means to thank.
